Google recently added a battery saver mode to Chrome OS. It is still under development. However, following the Chrome Story tradition of bringing this early, here is how to enable the battery saver.
Note: Battery saver is a work-in-progress feature and is available on the Dev channel.
Enabling Battery Saver on a Chromebook
To enable battery saver mode:
- Open the Settings app from the menu.
- From the left pane, select Device.
- On the Device page, select Power.
- Enable the Battery Saver toggle.
You have now enabled the Chromebook battery-saver mode. I would love to see this as a quick toggle available in the notification area. Also, a new icon or an updated battery icon to show the battery saver is enabled will be welcome too.
What do you think? Ready to take this for a spin?
